Ecclesiastes 6
1 I have seen something [else here] on this earth that troubles people.
Na da amo hou ba: i dagoi. Osobo bagade ganodini, defele hame hou da diala.
2 God enables some people to get a lot of money and possessions and to be honored; they have everything [LIT] that they want. But God [sometimes] does not allow them to continue to enjoy those things. Someone else gets them and enjoys them. That seems senseless and unfair.
Gode da dunu afaega muni bagade, soge bagade, nodosu hou amola ea hanai defele ema iaha. Be e da hedolo bogomuba: le, e da amo liligi hahawane gagumu hamedei ba: sa. Dunu eno da amo liligi hahawane lamu. Amo hou da hamedei, moloi hame gala.
3 Someone might have 100 children and live for many years. But if he is not able to enjoy the things that he has acquired, and if he is not buried [properly after he dies], [I say that] a child that is dead when it is born is more fortunate.
Dunu da eso bagohame esalea amola mano100 agoane lalelegesea, be e da hahawane hame ba: sea amola ea da: i hodo ilia noga: le hame ulidogosea amo da hamedei liligi. Dudubu da bogoiwane lalelegesea da amo dunu ea hou baligisa.
4 That dead baby’s birth is meaningless; it does not even have a name. It goes directly to the place where there is only darkness.
Agoai dudubu da hame lalelegemu da defea galu. E da gasi ganodini ahoabeba: le, dunu da amo hedolo gogolesa.
5 It does not [live to] see the sun or know anything. But it finds more rest than rich people do [who are alive].
E da eso ea hadigi hame ba: sa. E da osobo bagadega esalusu hame dawa: Be e da helefisu ba: sa.
6 Even if people could live for 2,000 years, if they do not enjoy the things that God gives to them, [it would have been better for them never to have been born]. [All people who live a long time] certainly [RHQ] all go to the same place— [to the grave].
Be dunu da hahawane hame esalea da helefisu hame ba: sa. E da ode2000 amoga esalea, helefisu hame ba: mu. Bai e amola amo dudubu ela da sogebi afaega masunu.
7 People work hard to [earn enough money to buy] food to eat [MTY], but [often] they never get enough to eat.
Osobo bagade dunu da eso huluane ha: i manusa: fawane hamosa. Be ea labe da defele hamedafa ba: sa.
8 So it seems that [RHQ] wise people do not receive more lasting benefits than foolish people do. And it seems that [RHQ] poor people do not benefit from knowing how to conduct their lives.
Bagade dawa: su dunu ea hou da habodane gagaoui dunu ea hou baligima: bela: ? Hame gagui dunu da eno dunu ba: ma: ne hou ida: iwane hamosea, da adi bidi lama: bela: ?
9 It is better to enjoy the things that we already have [MTY] than to constantly want more things; continually wanting more things is [senseless], [like] the wind.
Amo da hamedeidafa. Amo da udigili fo mabe se bobogebe agoai gala. Dilia da dilia gagui amoga hahawane ganumu da defea. Eno liligi lamusa: amoga hanai ba: mu da defea hame.
10 All the things that exist [on the earth] have been given names. And everyone knows what people are like, [so] it is useless to argue with someone (OR, with God) who is stronger than we are.
Mabe hou huluane da musa: dafa ilegei dagoi ba: i. Ninia huluane dawa: , dunu da ea gasa baligi dunuma sia: ga gegemu da hamedei.
11 The more [that we] talk, the more [often we say things that are] senseless, so it certainly does not [RHQ] benefit us to talk a lot.
Dia gebewane sia: ga gegenanea, di da baligiliwane hamedei ba: mu. Amola amo da dia hou hamedafa fidimu.
12 We live for only a short time; we disappear like [SIM] a shadow disappears [in the sunlight]. No one [RHQ] knows what is best for us while we are alive, and no one [RHQ] knows what will happen to us after we die [EUP].
Osobo bagade dunu ea esalusu da baba agoane, hedolowane alalolesisa. Amo esalusu ganodini, ninia da habodane noga: i logodafa dawa: ma: bela: ? Ninia da bogole, fa: no misunu hou habodane dawa: ma: bela: ?
